Mike Dyson

While being inspired by the futuristic shape of Dyson’s, Mark sourced a
job lot, that was for spares or repair. Second came the name, which then led to the idea for a boxing robot.

Sourcing broken ones is easy. Then it’s a case of imagination and a bit
of engineering to put together a 3m high structure that resembles a robot boxer.

There are so many cool shapes to a Dyson, perfect for robots! The challenge is rewarding when the project finally comes together. Turning discarded items into striking robots is my mission.

To paint or not to paint, that is the question!

Although it can be cool to see the repurposed items in their raw state, it can look a bit scrappy!

I also didn't want it too obvious. By painting, the individual elements appear to blend, as if purpose made for the job,

and the peruser will see a robot, before observing closely and discovering it's individual parts.

You can see a step by step of the build in the video.

This robot is one of many about to go on display at Robotazia.

Extraordinary creations from waste!
